Forty-five method bodies here were byte-identical to the same forty-five in every other scoreboard -- the selection and rotation engine, the font, colour and date subsystem, and the switch-mode upcoming card -- so they now come from src.common.sports_shared and this plugin inherits them. 1038 lines removed here. A fix to any of that now reaches every scoreboard at once instead of needing eight identical edits. Three deliberately stayed behind: _get_timezone, because it binds a per-plugin timezone module whose contents differ, and the two abstract stubs that define what makes this sport its own. Nothing drawn changes -- the bodies moved rather than being rewritten, and all 176 safety-harness renders across the eight plugins are byte-identical to before. The floor rises to 3.3.0, the release that first ships the shared module.",
+      "changelog": "Documentation only, no behaviour change. Rewrites the README around real rendered screenshots of the 2026 finals series and documents every configuration option. Writes down the game-selection logic in full: the three selection paths, and that upcoming_games_to_show/recent_games_to_show mean a per-team budget under show_favorite_teams_only but a total otherwise. Records four verified dead ends so they stop costing people time: show_odds is a no-op for AFL because ESPN publishes no odds block for the league (though it still issues one odds request per selected game), show_ranking has no poll to draw, dynamic_duration.min_duration_seconds is never read, and background_service.max_workers is ignored in favour of a single worker. Also corrects README defaults that had drifted from the schema (show_favorite_teams_only, display_duration, show_odds)."
